Off topic, has anybody seen the guy on PFK with the huge marine tank ? He used RAILWAY SLEEPERS as his tank base !

Okay now I'm confused. Will I need some PC glue like Darrel said ?

Darrel, thanks for the reply. There's already plenty of plastic cement on it, I was just going to cover up the leaky corners with silicone. Perfect Darren, I'll look out for it :D Thanks for the info guys :D

I've just picked up an 80L split tank (as in it has 3 sections) it has a small leak in the corner. I'm going to reseal it, but dont know what silicone is best for acrylic? Any advice appreciated ! Cheers

Interesting! thanks :D

Very useful Carl, I'm sure lots will try this. Does the sand never get sucked out ?

you're right :D much less inconspicuous!

Homebase stocks them, not too expensive.

3M coat hooks !

Think Homebase sells a thing called a drain snake. Good for cleaning pipework. Looks much better by the way! Great lights :D

Re: DIY ADA stand, which paint?? +1 for the satin finish paint. Kris

Re: DIY ADA stand, which paint?? Yeah its pretty epic. Too much like hard work though keeping that running successfully! :lol: Hijack over, sorry mate :D Kris

Re: DIY ADA stand, which paint?? Darren check this out. I'd love to see it done on a planted tank though! Would look much better. This tank is s beast though. http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/m ... p?sid=4966 Kris

Re: DIY ADA stand, which paint?? Saw that reef tank with the bricks and sleepers on the PFK site today. It looked great Darren! Kris

The stainless steel strainers can be purchased on eBay. Kris

Sorry guys, I do understand chemistry - I was just under the impression that this was placed into water (in which case if there was an anode and cathode present - there would definitely be production of both the gases. Or am I totally wrong about the placement of the "magic black box" LOL. But...

Doesnt electrolysis just split water into hydrogen and oxygen ? So in that case where does the CO2 come from? Also, I wouldn't wouldn't want an aquarium that was bubbling with H gas, what is somebody lit a ciggy or a candle... BOOM. lol.

Haven't a clue what that is ...wonder how it works ? Kris

Thats good then, a lot of "stainless" nowadays is crap. Rusts if you leave it anywhere damp or don't wipe it dry.

m_att does the large scraper you have not rust easily ? :?

Maybe if too large of a one for the thickness of your glass, the magnet will be too powerful and end up scratching the glass. I use one in my 30L - and I never go near the substrate with it, just in case. I use a toothbrush for the glass near the substrate. Also a great snail killer :D
